I think Paulo Thaigo gets the ” W” and inches closer to his shot at the title but he’s not quite there yet…

It was a little unwarranted, but I won’t lose sleep over it. But man oh man, if MMA was legal in Ontario, it wouldn’t almost undoubtably be in Toronto(my area) and I’d probably crap myself.

On a related note, I still don’t know if I’m completely sold about Thiago. It’s weird as hell, since he flat out KO’d Kos, put a beating on Volkmann, and ruined any chance for Swick to get that title shot. I know he’s a game fighter, but I haven’t exactly jumped on his train yet, even though I admit he’s proven himself more than other fighters have that I became a fan of.

I think this fight is his most important step to prove that he is no doubt for real. I won’t be able to deny anything if he wins, and a fight against Daley or Koscheck should Thiago beat Kampmann would be a great idea for the next title shot.

This is completely unrelated to the topic, but WTF are you talking about BillyWarhol? Seriously, that came completely out of left field.

I agree. Kampman has not looked the same since getting KO’ed by Marquardt. I like him as a fighter but feel he is one of those who is always going to be on the cusp of greatness but never putting it altogether ala Vera and Gonzaga. Thiago should take this one. Hopefully its a back and forth fight wether it be standing or on the ground.

Actually I’m not excited about this fight. Thiago starts off his UFC debut KO Kos and losing to fitch on a grappling match and submitting Swick. 2-1 against AKA is geat and far better fighters than Kapmann. Kapmman Lost to Semtex Daley and hasn’t beaten any tough competion. This will be another win for Thiago and a step closer for a shot at gsp. I mean who else is there besides fitch who cant finish anyone & alves, they both had their shots. Thiago by submission.

Wow. I like this fight. I could see this going either way. Thiago has the edge I think. Kampman hasn’t looked as strong fighting at Welter. I could also see Kampman making me eat my words but I am clearly see Thiago winning this fight.

Thiago is a major up-and-comer, maybe the best to come along in some time, and Kampmann a great test at this juncture. While some seem to think that having such a dominant champion as GSP is diminishing interest in the division, matchups like this one should allay those fears.

I’m a Canadian and somewhat PROUD of it altho we’re operating under a Bush-like Brainwashed Flock bunch o conservative Repube idiots but I think Mcguinty who is Premier of Ontario is Liberal and denied UFC Fights in our Province. It’s a little weird and yeah 2 supremely conditioned Fighters beatin’ the living Crap outta each other is sick and should be outlawed – I LOVE watching it – but people in this Day and Age are stoopid and sick-minded – ONE thing that strikes me about the Fighters is their LOVE + RESPECT for the Other Fighter – Hopefully the rest of our Sick Society will Clue into that – Shame people have to get Hurt to Learn that Basic Lesson in the most Brutal Sport in the World.

This is a great fight, as both guys have good chins, Martin has better technique striking but Paulo has better power, Martin has good grappling while Paulo has great submissions, a very even and exciting fight.

This should be a pretty decent bout between two pretty solid ww fighters.

I’m liking Thiago to win this one if he can avoid getting KO’d, which he’s done pretty well so far in his career.

Good fight for Thiago but after this one (and not saying that it is an easy fight for Thiago)

Thiago should get the winner of Fitch/Alves or Paul/Koscheck (Depending on who gets the next shot at GSP first)

then the winner get the next shot
